Abstract:
These products contain time-ordered AISPs corresponding to one of the three possible polarisation combinations: HH & HV, VV & VH and HH & VV, respectively). The echo samples in the AISPs have been compressed to 4 bits/sample using FBAQ. This is a high-rate, narrow swath mode, so data is only acquired for partial orbit segments and may be from one of seven different image swaths.

The Level 0 ... product is produced systematically for all data acquired within this mode. The NRT version of the product is available from the PDHS 1 day after data acquisition, while the OFL, fully consolidated, version is available from the PAC after 2 weeks.
